Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A new technique has been developed for generating dopamine-producing neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs). The technique could be used to generate patient-specific neurons that could help to accelerate…
Researchers have developed a new method for treating sepsis that has had promising results in studies on mice. Sepsis is caused when the body’s immune system goes into overdrive in response…
Vitamin D deficiency is common around the world, with one study suggesting approximately 1 billion people worldwide have vitamin D deficiency, while around 50% of the world population has vitamin…
The gut and the microbiome play a huge role in overall health and the influence microbes have on health is becoming better understood; however, there are challenges to overcome when…
Researchers have demonstrated the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool can be used to treat muscular dystrophies. Muscular dystrophies are inherited conditions that cause muscles to weaken, causing a progressive loss of…
AI systems have been developed for assisting with the diagnosis of medical conditions, but training those algorithms requires large cohorts of patient data. That typically requires hospitals to release medical…
A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Hawaii searching for rare actinomycetes have identified a soil bacterium that produces two drug-like molecules that…
Bacteria can be engineered to multiply selectively inside tumors, thus inhibiting tumor growth. The bacteria could also be programmed to deliver drugs and proteins directly to the tumors to kill…
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new type of probe for use with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that can trace connections between neural populations…
Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) have refined their STIMO (STImulation Movement Overground) targeted neurotechnology system that they previously used to…
